If you try to do the right thing and live up to our values, that is great....Until it reveals someone's incompetence who is protected by executive leadership... then you are out the door faster than you can imagine.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Your values are just words...learn what they mean, then try to actually live them like your employees do. I was respected and valued...and highly rewarded in the company...until I called to question something that one of their golden boys did to the detriment of the company, then they walked me out. When I brought it to the CEO and President's attention.... I was thrown back to the wolves that attacked me. Unreal. Don't ever trust this company. They screw their own people, customers and suppliers.

Good benefits. Staff is great. If you want to be told what to do, this is the place. If you don't want to be held accountable, this is the place.

Cons

Directors are really micro-managers. Most managers are just managers. Leadership above the director level appears to understand leadership. Director level doesn't understand what leadership is. The entire company appears to like management by fear. No one is held accountable. Big bark, no stick.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

If the executives would lead and be leaders (making the tough decisions) this company may be able to retain white collar staff. Adhere to the values you espouse. Lip service doesn't work, hence the high turnover.

They are somewhat well established and are trying to improve reliability and quality.

Cons

There is a lot of potential for the shady grove division but they are locked into the past. The processes are old, the designs are old, the company does not seem to want to transform the products they produce. Also they don't really consider what the customer is paying for and it's really hard to get them to buy into top quality and innovation. The location is not much to be desired. They should really change locations.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Get rid of the old mentality " if it ain't broke don't fix it". The customer feedback system does not work well at all yet you use it as an excuse not to fix or improve any if the products because you think the customer is fine with it. Improve the channels for customer feedback and use it to improve the products rather thinking that you know what the customer wants better than they do
